Synopsis
Excerpt from The Blacksmiths̕ Guide: Valuable Instructions on Forging, Welding, Hardening
In offering this book to my fellow craftsmen, I do not wish it to be inferred that I consider myself the only one who knows how to do the work described in its pages. In 27 years' experience at blacksmithing, however, working in nearly all kinds of shops, including horseshoeing, marine, railroad, printing press, sawmill machinery and automobile shops, I have had opportunities seldom obtained by the average smith. I therefore hope that the book will not only help the young men in the trade, but some of the older blacksmiths as well; and since much attention has been given to the subjects of hardening, tempering, casehardening, coloring, etc., I believe it will also prove useful to machinists and toolmakers. Part of the matter upon these latter subjects was contributed, in somewhat different form, to the columns of Machinery, but most of the material is here used for the first time.
Everything in these pages is from actual experience and I am ready at all times to answer any question on any subject that is not fully understood by the reader; but I have, tried to make everything so plain that the average blacksmith can readily understand the methods explained.
The man who gives the best satisfaction is the one to get the highest wages and I am confident that one who follows the directions in this book will give satisfaction.
